QUESTIONS 1 - 3 - (2 PAGES)
Group Exercises:
Eighty-four percent of Germans surveyed found the Benetton ads "distatesful," and there is some concern that the ads touch on a raw nerve because of Germany''s involvement in the two world wars, with Jews in WWII concentration camps getting numbers tattooed on their arms. One German shop owner said, "No more Benetton, because we condemn the scadalous advertising using misery, war, sickness, and death" (as noted by Nathaniel C. Nash of the The New York Times).
1. (Group 1): Give an argument in support of using such ads as Benetton''s that show poverty, disease, death, and destruction.
2. (Group 2): Give an argument in opposition to such ads.
3. (Group 3): What exactly is the role of advertising? Is advertising only to sell a product, or does it serve some other (maybe even very different) functions in our society?
